Does Anyone Want To Meow Back And Forth At Eachother

does anyone want to meow back and forth at eachother

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’

this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

there's a third option apart from either engaging with fandom or only discussing it with a small circle of friends and it's talking to yourself alone in a dark closet for 2 years with the door ajar 1 inch so random passerby of all sorts of different backgrounds and familiarities with what you are talking about can sometimes hear you

why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.

I feel kinda dumb asking this but, on the topic of How to download fics, are there any reasons Why I should download fics beyond letting me read them when the site’s down? Like, does the creator get a notification or?

No, the creator does not get a notification when you download them

It's just a feature to make them offline for readers when Archive of Our Own isn't available or an option, you don't have to wait until the Archve is going down, like when you're about to go on a flight with your phone in airplane mode, or you just want to use ebook settings for the reading (changing the font, background color, scrolling vs page flipping, accessibility features, ect)
